BPI expert evaluation
Do more good. Build a stronger business.
Understand how your core business contributes to people and society, where it could do more, and how that contribution could support your business. A BPI expert evaluation gives you a reasoned analysis and priorities for strategy and development.

Make the good you create useful for your next decision.

For leaders and advisers who want a clearer account of their company’s contribution and a practical basis for strengthening it.

  • Clarify your value proposition
    Identify what your products and services make possible, for whom, and which benefits you can explain with confidence.
  • Find development opportunities
    Explore where your capabilities could meet human needs better through an existing offer, a new service, a partnership or improved access.
  • Choose what to strengthen next
    Separate strengths to protect, important bottlenecks and ideas that need more evidence before you invest.

An everyday question, a wider perspective

What’s your company’s “coffee cup”?

A cup of coffee can be more than a drink: a welcome pause, a familiar encounter or a place to meet. In this simple thought experiment, an ordinary transaction points to human needs beneath the product.

What everyday product or service of yours creates more value for people than its description suggests? Which need does it serve, and what would help you understand that contribution better?

BPI takes that question beyond a good story: into the evidence, the conditions that support the contribution, and the decisions that could strengthen it.

Illustrative thought experiment, not a client case or a measured impact claim.

More than a score: an explanation you can use.

  • Your contribution and value story
    A reasoned account of the good your core business creates, the people it serves, and the mechanisms and evidence behind the contribution.
  • Your BPI profile
    An overall profile and eight component assessments, with an explanation of what the pattern means for your business.
  • Your development priorities
    Recommendations that distinguish what to preserve, what to improve and what to examine next, including relevant business-value connections.
Specific outputs and depth are agreed for the engagement. Additional communication materials and implementation support are separately scoped.

See the difference between an activity and a useful finding.

A fictional training provider records course completions and participant satisfaction. That is useful information, but it does not yet show whether people apply what they learn.

The analytical question is where learning becomes usable capability, and which conditions help or prevent that change. This can guide a decision about improving an existing course, supporting application or changing the offer.

Build on what your organization already knows.

  • 1. Agree the questions
    We define what would be valuable to understand, the scope and the people and material needed.
  • 2. Examine the business
    Interviews and existing materials provide the basis for the qualitative expert analysis.
  • 3. Turn findings into priorities
    You review factual accuracy. We discuss the findings, development priorities and appropriate next steps.

A distinctive perspective on what business makes possible.

Business for Peace asks what positive contribution actually consists of. In BPI, peace is more than the absence of war: it includes the conditions of human dignity, trust, well-being and constructive shared life.

The Business Peace Index examines eight connected components, from purpose and products to ethics, stakeholder inclusion and leadership. The value lies in the interpretation: how the parts support or constrain one another, and what your company should strengthen next.

Work with the developer of the method.

Your evaluation is led by Tilman Bauer, Doctor of Science (Econ. and Bus. Admin.). BPI draws on his 2023 doctoral research at Aalto University School of Business and its subsequent application in company evaluations.

One responsible expert connects the interviews, analysis, score profile, and conclusions. The work can be conducted in English, Finnish, or German.
